Take your appetite on an irresistible journey of smoky grills, bold flavors, and rustic bites around Horse Country, Miami's version of the countryside in the suburban expanse of Kendall.

See your favorite dishes in a different light, as they get a ranch-style twist in Horse Country, a sprawling neighborhood of stables, nurseries, and one-acre estates in Miami's western edges.

Carved out of Miami-Dade's agricultural history and still dotted with nurseries that have thrived for decades, Horse Country won't strike you as a dining hotspot at first glance.

After all, this rural-suburban pocket is better known for its open fields, farms, and horses—it's not called "Horse" Country for nothing.

But if you look closer, you'll find that this hidden gem and its surrounding streets have plenty of surprises up their sleeves, for foodies seeking to try fire-roasted Venezuelan, BBQ, gourmet Colombian street food, Peruvian ceviche, and other international flavors that made Magic City one of the world's famous melting pots!

Indeed, Horse Country is more than meets the eye, especially when it comes to dishes that are as memorable as the setting itself!

And we're ready to introduce some of the best!

Here are the Top 5 Eats to try while you're here. (in no particular order)

Moo! Arte en Carnes

12737 SW 42nd St, Miami, FL 33175

✅ Dine-in - ✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Outdoor Dining

Prepare for a feast defined by the famed Argentinian steakhouse craftsmanship at Moo! Arte en Carnes, a local steakhouse rooted in tradition, elegance, and a medley of succulent meats grilled to perfection!

Offering a mouthwatering selection of expertly cut steaks, tender ribs, and robust sausages, all char-grilled over open flames, Moo! Arte en Carnes is a must for anyone seeking the unique aroma and flavor of a traditional Argentine barbecue, led by their towering 48 oz. Tomahawk, ribeye "El Argentino," and Wagyu ribeye.

As for the appetizers, well, they don't disappoint either.

We're talking about irresistible sides that pair perfectly with any dish, such as their smoky provoleta with tomato jam and grilled arugula chimichurri, delicate empanadas, or raclette-style cheese that adds unexpected flair to their grilled sausages. 

Moo! Arte en Carnes also features an eclectic wine list and crafted cocktails, which you can savor in a warm, rustic ambiance that transports you to the heart of Argentina! 

End your meal with house-made desserts, such as dulce–filled crepes or a creamy flan, and make it a full-circle culinary experience—it's the Moo! Arte en Carnes way!

Qbiche BBQ Ranch | Restaurant

12320 SW 56th St, Miami, FL 33175

✅ Dine-in - ✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Outdoor Dining

Create unforgettable moments over authentic, wood-fired, spit-roasted steaks, burgers, and more when you take the whole family to Qbiche BBQ Ranch, an al-fresco slice of Venezuela in the heart of Horse Country.

Boasting weekend-worthy BBQ spreads cooked over an open fire, Qbiche BBQ Ranch promises a unique dining experience and a menu of slow-roasted meats, hearty burgers, seafood, ensaladas, apertivos, and day-to-night drinks, like fruit juices, milkshakes, and cocktails.

The star of the show? Qbiche's Carne en Vara a La Leña, a traditional Venezuelan dish that consists of large pieces of beef, such as brisket, pierced by wooden sticks and slowly roasted over dry wood embers, resulting in a juicy cooking process with a distinctive smoky flavor.

If you ever do try it out, make sure it's a weekend, as Qbiche BBQ Ranch gets especially festive with live music, entertainment, pony rides, and exotic animals for kids, making it an outing more than a usual sit-down meal!

Whether it's the slow-roasted meats, drinks, or music, Qbiche BBQ Ranch captures the spirit of Horse Country with food and flair.

Treat yourself to an unforgettable rollercoaster of Colombian flavors with a modern twist at Chuzitos Gourmet Kendall, an open-air culinary hotspot offering your favorite Colombian street food in a fast-casual setting.

Located in the serene expanse of Horse Country, Chuzitos Gourmet is home to popular dishes like Chuzo Desgranado de Pollo (shredded chicken skewers), Chuzo Desgranado Combinado (a mix of meats), and loaded Salchipapas (French fries and pan-fried sausage, or hot dogs, topped with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and Aji), alongside other traditional Latin American dishes that remind you of home and exude savory comfort worth sharing.

Here, the portions are generous, the toppings unapologetic, and you're surrounded by a fun and casual vibe that perfectly fits the personality of Horse Country, no matter the time of day.

They say gas station food sucks, but those people probably haven't tried The Side Chick Food Truck, the perfect spot to go overboard with Halal burgers, tenders, mac and cheese, loaded fries, and more, just 4 minutes from Horse Country.

A vibrant food truck with an extensive menu of classic American comfort food with a Latin-infused, rustic edge, The Side Chick is perfect for foodies on the go, especially if they want to be impressed by creativity, vibrant flavors, and a lively atmosphere defined by a distinct Southern flair.
